Give the equation to form ATP. State the name of the reaction and the enzyme responsible.
ADP+Pi+free energy→ATP+H2O
ATP synthase and condensation reaction
Give the equation to breakdown ADP. State the name of the reaction and the enzyme responsible.
ATP+H2O→ADP+Pi+ free energy
ATPase and hydrolysis
Explain how ATP can be used as an energy source
When ATP breaks down, energy is released
Describe the structure of ATP
Adenosine + three phosphate groups
Compare and contrast the structure of ATP to a DNA nucleotide
ATP - three phosphate groups + adenosine
DNA nucleotide - sugar phosphate backbone + adenosine
